‘In the service of Scotland’ is a new vision for the Scottish Government, describing how we will work together.

Created in partnership with more than 450 colleagues including the Executive Team and the Council of Scottish Government Unions (CSGU), this vision describes the type of organisation we need to be, now and in the future.

It provides Scottish Government colleagues with a unique set of values, linked to the Civil Service Code and the National Performance Framework, which will guide everything that we do as the Civil Service of the Scottish Government.

‘In the service of Scotland’ has three parts:

  • Our mission: We work together to improve the lives of the people of Scotland.
  • Our vision: We put the citizens we serve at the heart of everything we do. We use digital thinking and approaches to strengthen our work and provide a better service for everyone. We are driven by our values, always searching for new ways to learn and improve. All in the service of Scotland.
  • Our values: We act with integrity, we are inclusive, we are innovative, we are collaborative and we are kind.
